A Dark Dialogue Pt1 of 3pts

There it sits… in the dark corner a hollow thing bony arms skeletal Is it grinning There sitting closer in shadow even in Light. Black Eyes staring. Things understand…. Unmoved. EYES glow like cats in car lights I wonder… What are you! A haunting vestige of hair, all teeth, and bone Tumbling down past your shoulders A dark thing of dark flesh… Lost to void A pool of light near your arm It's daringly too close, fearing to see too much too soon... Light seems to retract? Feeling your ice drift from you from your hands I ask you, “what are you?” “Where have you been?” “Where are you going”? Skintight skull grinning eyes wide a dark dialogue I devise I want to pull you close but the fear is… You were my ALL, in a former life. My memories of us once beautiful, bright, fleeting... ...now just dust drifting Your soul is lost, so is mine? And only this thing Sits & grins sinisterly at me… "love not the dead only suffer the living" Anonymous
